The 8% jump outpaced the league average of 4% and ranked the Rangers No. 12 in Forbes' list.
The Texas Rangers saw their thinning pitching staff take more hits, even as they took three of four in Oakland for their fourth consecutive series win.Texas Rangers' Josh Smith, left to right, Marcus Semien, Leody Taveras and Evan Carter celebrate after winning Wednesday night in Oakland.this week was just plain weird. There was a little of everything – a couple of blowouts, some really adventurous defense, rockets with nothing to show for it, and the obvious sun-aided hits.
Later in the series, in the second game of the doubleheader, Texas was able to score five runs over the last two frames, certainly key, as the A’s were able to shrink the margin of what had been a blowout to one in the bottom of the ninth. Yates again was able to shut the door. On Monday night, Heaney went six innings, scattering seven hits and allowing just one earned run while striking out five. Heaney also didn’t allow a walk. It was the third consecutive start for Heaney without allowing a free pass which is a welcome development.
Dunning’s last outing in Kansas City was cut short at just 4 ⅔ innings – and the one previous to that lasted just 69 pitches despite effective pitching – presumably because Texas was up 7-0 at the time; but it’s possible that the early exits have been as a precaution for the rotator cuff.The whole series saw all the classic Coliseum craziness, but between both games of the scheduled doubleheader on Wednesday, baseball got real weird.
In the first game of the doubleheader, with Texas having won the first two games of the series, starter Michael Lorenzen, who came into the game with a 4-0 record and an 0.29 ERA against the Athletics, gave up six runs in six innings, including two homers. Cole Winn came on in relief of Lorenzen and promptly gave up three runs in relief after not allowing a run in all of April.
That streak would end, as Yates allowed the inherited runners to score before giving up a run of his own before finally stopping the bleeding in what ended up being an exhaustingly bizarre three and a half hour 12-11 victory.
